Anko, or red bean paste, is a traditional sweet filling widely used in East Asian cuisine, especially Japanese desserts like mochi, dorayaki, and taiyaki. Made from azuki beans, it is typically sweetened with sugar, resulting in a smooth or textured paste depending on preparation. Anko is rich in dietary fiber, promoting digestion, and provides plant-based protein along with essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. Azuki beans themselves are low in fat, but due to the added sugar, Anko can be calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those managing sugar intake or diabetes. Its versatility makes it a cherished ingredient in traditional confectionery, offering a unique combination of hearty and sweet flavors while delivering nutritional benefits from its natural, wholesome base.
